>>>I guess you lot over there have seen all this by now (or at least the 2st season) but it's just been going some 7 weeks here. I missed 3 epes when I was on holiday but during the w/e just gone they showed all 7 epoes back-to-back - no delays, no comercial breaks (BBC you see). I managed to OD on it all and what a marvellous thing it is. I have been watching it but, having missed 3, there was a chunk missing in my comprehension (like why at the start of 1 was Clair (the cheerleader) all cut open on a coroner's slab - what a BRILLIANT story idea, as she pushed her open skin flaps back together and walked out, like she was fastening a cardigan). And seeing wee, cute Hiro come back from the future, all cool, with a samurai sword, deep-voiced and speaking with a US accent, and starting a loop in time - Brilliant too. Just leaves you biting your arse for more and wondering just what more there is in store. A++

>>You may have missed one. Claire gets assaulted by a jock at a student party falls and gets a wooden stake through the back of her head. That episode ends with her on the slab. The next one starts with her on the slab and healing up.

>Nah, what I meant to say is that I saw this during the Heroes-fest at the w/e. The jock rape attempt had been one of the epoes that I'd missed and this mystery was now explained to me. One loophole in the plot though is that there's no police follow-up as to how the accident was caused, knowing she was at the wheel (probably without a licence, insurance, etc.). Think about it too - that's twice that galoot killed her, or at least twice she's been killed by a jock (she was shoulder-charged down at the pitch and had her neck broken).

>>I agree its very good and I really like Hiro.

>He (and his "side-oo kick-oo") and Clair are the only real likeable ones AFAICR. The Indian guy just makes me yawn. Oh, and the candidate's brother (the mimic).

Peter Petrelli rocks! When they did the "go into the future" show he played a really really good angry guy.
